17 The Esplanade, Whitianga, Thames-Coromandel, Waikato

A prime slice of Whitianga's tightly held waterfront is now available to visionary landbankers, developers, or owner-occupiers. Positioned directly across from the beach with uninterrupted views over Mercury Bay, this 1,088sqm flat freehold section offers one of the town’s rarest mixed-use zoned opportunities. With waterfront zoning under the Thames-Coromandel District Plan, the site supports a wide range of potential uses (subject to council consents). Consider a boutique low-rise apartment complex, a mixed-use retail and residential hub, a modern commercial development, or a signature single residence. The 10-metre height limit provides scope to maximise water views, while the high foot and vehicle traffic location lends itself to retail, hospitality or high-end accommodation. One of just 14 sites with this unique waterfront overlay, the property is walking distance to the marina, town centre, boat ramp and retail precinct, making it an exceptional location in a booming lifestyle and tourism hub. Whether you're seeking to secure land in one of New Zealand's premier fishing and holiday destinations, build now or hold for the future, this is a once-in-a-generation chance to invest in a standout coastal position.
